History
1992-1994
Heet Mob Records was established by Victor "Daheeteus" Hunt and local Hip
Hop group, Innovative Black Funk (Daheeteus,Solomon,D.J. Flex D), to be
the support unit, foundation, and business outlet for the group and other
Kansas City-based talent. Shortly afterwards I.B.F joined forces with Frozen
Image Productions and Icy Roc for musical production, which already hosted
an array of talent from the city (Basement Khemist "Ill brew", Tech N9ne, Vell
Barkardi, Sole' and others.). That led to the early I.B.F releases (The Black
Plan, Funky Black Stuff, and the I.B.F.'s, most popular song "Can't Get
Enough of the City") .
1995-1996
By 1995 Heet Mob Records established an in-house musical production from
Daheeteus for Black Funkula Prod. After a one-year hiatus to develop
musically, Heet Mob released a free Hip Hop sampler in 1996 with musical
collaborations by I.B.F. and the Basement Khemist, calling it the "Soul
Project". Creating a serious buzz amongst the Kansas City Hip Hop
community and throughout the Midwest, spawning this to become a group
and expand by recruiting fellow immediate mc's and friends of ours, and at
the same time develop the talent under the umbrella of Heet Mob.
1997-2000
By 1997 Soul Project became the main focus of the label, putting together a
solid EP of classic k.c. Hip Hop tracks as a full group. Soul Project set out to
practice, develop and tour as a group for a year, opening up for acts such as
Outkast, Fat Joe,Terror squad, and the Wu Tang Clan plus various Hip Hop
venues throughout the midwest region. But due to failed business and
distribution ventures the EP was never released. In 98' Daheeteus and John
Lee of the Basement Khemist became business partners to join forces and
legitimize the label as a self supportive independent label, providing
recording, publishing, musical development, production, booking, promotion
and management, thus becoming, Heet Mob Records L.L.C. Recruiting,
developing talent, recording and running one of the first Hip Hop open mic
venues(voted best Hip Hop club"club mardi gras" historic 18th and vine jazz
district, by the pitch weekly in k.c.Mo) for two and half years, Heet Mob
Records stood ready to release its roster of talent, starting with the Soul
Project.
2001-2003
In 2001 Heet Mob Records was signed to Chuck D's (Public Enemy)
Slamjamz.com in a song licensing deal. This has given the label an outlet for
its artist to be exposed, seen and heard worldwide digitally, as well as all
other forms of musical releases, the record label for the 21st century. The
exposure paid off almost immediately. In 2002 the slamjamz/Heet Mob
Records-Soul Project single release "I See Ya" was picked up to be on the
soundtrack of the Fox Searchlite movie Brown Sugar (scene 20 on the DVD),
to be heard in theatres throughout the nation. This gave instant exposure to
the label and Soul Project for momentum leading up to the maxi single
release - Shine Thru 2002-03, the first independently released project for the
new Heet Mob Records L.L.C. The single was sold in stores throughout the
Midwest region, with radio play in Chicago (Third Rail). The release created a
wider fan base and buzz throughout the region, and worldwide online.in 2002, the group reopened the open mic venue "The Essence" for another
run of 2 years, re-establishing the hottest open mic spot and best talent the
city had to offer, at the same time selling, promoting, and giving away CDs at
the venue to further expose the Heet Mob sound throughout the Hip Hop
community. Events included a packed house free lecture from the legendary
Chuck D himself.
2003-Now
Heet Mob Records has continued to release singles under slamjamz.com,
presently under the self-titled group name Heet Mob.The past few years
